[See the example ios project for reference](https://github.com/react-native-video/react-native-video/blob/9c669a2d8a53df36773fd82ff0917280d0659bc7/examples/basic/ios/Podfile#L31C38-L31C38) ### Enable custom feature in podfile file Samples available in sample app see [sample pod file](https://github.com/react-native-video/react-native-video/blob/9c669a2d8a53df36773fd82ff0917280d0659bc7/examples/basic/ios/Podfile#L34) #### Video caching To enable Video caching usage, add following line in your podfile: ([more info here](other/caching.md)) ```podfile # enable Video caching + $RNVideoUseVideoCaching=true ``` #### Google IMA Google IMA is the google SDK to support Client Side Ads Integration (CSAI), see [google documentation](https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/sdks/ios/client-side) for more information. To enable google IMA usage define add following line in your podfile: ```podfile $RNVideoUseGoogleIMA=true ``` </details> <details> <summary>Android</summary> ## Android From version >= 6.0.0, your application needs to have kotlin version >= 1.7.0 ```: buildscript { ... ext.kotlinVersion = '1.7.0' ... } ``` ### Enable custom feature in gradle file #### Enable client side ads insertion To enable client side ads insertion CSAI with google IMA SDK, you need to enable it in your gradle file. ```gradle buildscript { ext { ... RNVUseExoplayerIMA = true ... } } ``` See [sample app](https://github.com/react-native-video/react-native-video/blob/9c669a2d8a53df36773fd82ff0917280d0659bc7/examples/basic/android/build.gradle#L14C5-L14C5) </details> <details> <summary>Windows</summary> ## Windows ### Autolinking **React Native Windows 0.63 and above** Autolinking should automatically add react-native-video to your app. ### Manual Linking **React Native Windows 0.62** Make the following additions to the given files manually: `windows\myapp.sln` Add the _ReactNativeVideoCPP_ project to your solution (eg. `windows\myapp.sln`): 1. Open your solution in Visual Studio 2019 2. Right-click Solution icon in Solution Explorer > Add > Existing Project... 3. Select `node_modules\react-native-video\windows\ReactNativeVideoCPP\ReactNativeVideoCPP.vcxproj` `windows\myapp\myapp.vcxproj` Add a reference to _ReactNativeVideoCPP_ to your main application project (eg. `windows\myapp\myapp.vcxproj`): 1. Open your solution in Visual Studio 2019 2. Right-click main application project > Add > Reference... 3. Check _ReactNativeVideoCPP_ from Solution Projects `pch.h` Add `#include "winrt/ReactNativeVideoCPP.h"`. `app.cpp` Add `PackageProviders().Append(winrt::ReactNativeVideoCPP::ReactPackageProvider());` before `InitializeComponent();`. **React Native Windows 0.61 and below** Follow the manual linking instructions for React Native Windows 0.62 above, but substitute _ReactNativeVideoCPP61_ for _ReactNativeVideoCPP_. </details> <details> <summary>tvOS</summary> ## tvOS `react-native link react-native-video` doesn’t work properly with the tvOS target so we need to add the library manually. First select your project in Xcode.  After that, select the tvOS target of your application and select « General » tab  Scroll to « Linked Frameworks and Libraries » and tap on the + button  Select RCTVideo-tvOS  </details> </details> ## Examples Run `yarn xbasic install` in the root directory before running any of the examples. ### iOS Example ```bash yarn xbasic ios ``` ### Android Example ```bash yarn xbasic android ``` ### Windows Example ```bash yarn xbasic windows ```
